Chapitre 498: Meet Again?

"She did not! She needs rest." he refused in a beat when Edward sighed.

"My lord! I did not want to go against you but the whole empire is burning and the lady is needed to bring peace." his grave and urgent voice tensed Rafael too whose eyes flickered dark. 

"She is pregnant with my child. And I did not want my wife or child to suffer in the fire of the war. The war had nothing to do with us." he stood up and stared back at the man with a cold look in his eye.

They both kept staring at each other with no one to back down when Edward banged the table with force.

"I can not understand you, Rafael. You are placing the whole world just to save a woman? It is not like you can not have a child again or your child would definitely be in danger." As the words left the mouth of Edward, he felt a sharp pain in his jaws and his body flew to the other corner of the room.
